Appraisal
An attractive, modest-scale house of balanced proportions that, although now disused, retains its original from and character. The house is also of some interest having been built incorporating space for commercial use, representing one of the earliest commercial ventures in the village of Ballyduff. The house retains many important salient features and materials, and is distinguished in the streetscape by the decorative detailing to the panels that might be interpreted as a vernacular form of vermiculation.
